Would there be any way to have an DOUBLE ELIMINATION option?
Also, could there be a way for an admin to define the value of a tournament? (Local tournaments worth 100 points. Regional tournaments worth 400 points, National tournaments worth 2000 points)... then distribute the points based on custom algorithms? Like I would want 1st place gets 50% of the points, 2nd place gets 20% of the points, 3rd place gets 10% of the points, and both 5th place players (double elimination remember?) get 5% each of the points, and all remaining players get the remaining 10% of the points distributed evenly amongst them (with a maximum of 1% each)?
Sort of the way the Tennis Circuits do it. This way we could have true rankings?
for the score type you should have a drop down and not a text box or can you put whatever you like in there ?
You can put whatever you like in there. Eg. Point, Kill, Death, etc.
(Put it in singular form as the modification works out if number of points is plural and adds 's' to end of word if it is.)

Not that I know of at the moment.

I like this idea, I'll bring it when I bring in tournament categories.
Well would there be a way for you to set it up so that we could do double elimination tourmanents? Single elimination tournaments in the video game scene are non-existant, or tournaments that no one cares about. Frankly, unless there is double elimination, I cant use this. Also, is there a Round Robin option? Dont need Last Man Standing or Single Elimination.
To clarify the scoring system... this would be with double elimination... In double elimination tournaments, there is no 4th place, instead there are two 5th placed players. Everything in parenthesis should be admin definable; even the min and max of the ranking allocations.
Tournament Categories (point values definable)
- Local Tournaments (100 points)
- Regional Tournaments (500 points)
- National Tournaments (2000 points)
Ranking Allocations (percentages definable)
- 1st Place (50% points)
- 2nd Place (20% points)
- 3rd Place (10% points)
- 5th Place (5% points each to both players)
- The remaining 10% gets split up evenly between all other players (1 point min - 1% max)
Also, any chance to support up to 128 players? How about the ability to limit people to creating only ONE tournament a month?
